I think my Jeep looks better with it off anyway. It's probably hurting my gas milage in theory, but I drive 3 miles each way to work and back, on back roads never going more than 45mph. So I'm not too worried about aerodynamics.

If I was going on a long highway drive I guess I could slap it back on to get 1 more MPG But mine rubbed, so away it went.

I purchased fence brackets @ Home depot and cut off the mounting brackets. Then drilled new mounting holes. Welded the carriage bolts to the bottom of the bracket and then tighten them down with wing nuts.
